Tropic of Chaos
Christian Parenti in conversation with Vijay Prashad and David Harvey

Co-sponsored by the Center for Humanities at the GC and The Brecht Forum

The James Gallery
CUNY Graduate Center
365 Fifth Avenue @ 34th Street
In Tropic of Chaos: Climate Change and the New Geography of Violence (Nation Books; July 1, 2011), award-winning writer Christian Parenti argues that the new era of climate war has begun, intertwining environmental disasters, poverty, social inequality, and violence in the Global South. Parenti, historian Vijay Prashad and Marxist scholar David Harvey will discuss the historical legacy of Cold War militarism, neoliberal economic restructuring, and the convergent onset of climate change expressed as warfare, crime, repression, state failure, and a planet in peril.
